Notes: Husband of Caroline Weeks Harrison, oldest son of William Henry Harrison Jr. (Grancer) Died in the Civil war. Caroline's death date by some researchers shows as the exact date of their last child's birthdate (Moses Haney)I do not know if this is true but the son's birth date was the last evidence I can find where she was alive. After his estate was probated ,James' eldest son Benjamin was left to fend for the children, as can be seen in the 1870 coffee county census. James M. Harison was on the roster for Co. C of Moreland's Alabama Cavalry Regiment put together in Tuscumbia Alabama (where James' brother John A. was mustered) in 1862. Capt. Moreland's unit was poorly armed and disciplined, with many men and officers A.W.O.L. when inspected by Gen. Forest in 1864. Moreland's units suffered many defeats and there is evidence of soldiers killed in action being buried in mass graves by the hundreds. The following URL provides info that James may have made it home Because it shows he was on furlough but the pay dates and the enlistment date doesn't shuck and jive http://www.archives.state.al.us/civilwar/soldier.cfm?id=84381 His children were Benjamin, William H., Harmon, Nancy A., James , Noah, Gemima, Sarah "Sallie", and Moses Haney "Buck" Harrison. The Administrator of James's estate (James D. McClean) swore under oath on Jan. 27 1869 that James died in Coffee county Alabama, if this is true, we know where he is buried.

Notes: The passing years did not decrease his love for dancing but at last he realized that his frolicking days would soon end. He began to talk of death not in a morbid way but with the practiced approach of a businessman preparing for the inevitable.
